Anyone Tried Vaping With Strep Throat?

Just wondering if anyone has tried vaping whilst having strep throat. I want my nicotine, but am scared of what the vapor may do to my throat.

hmm I have not but it's something you should speak to your DR about. Most Docs are pretty open about it. Take this with a grain of salt, but, I'd assume if anything, all it would do is irritate your throat a bit more at worst.

It wont necessarily affect you in any way, but the vapor will irritate your throat and hurt on the inhale.

I have vaped while sick, just not with strep throat....or at least not diagnosed AS strep throat by a doctor (I think it was though). No matter whether I used all VG or PG it hurt like the dickens to vape, so I suffered as much as I could and only took an inhale when I NEEDED my nicotine. My biggest worry was that I would forget to clean my drip tip, so I probably over cleaned it (which is not a bad thing). IMO I would probably have had a better feeling throat a few days before if I had chosen not to vape...but that's not really an option for me.

Back in the day when I was vaping, I believe, I had strep throat at the time, I even posted about it. The feeling was horrible. The nicotine actually felt like a burning sensation and I was only using 16mgs, I had to cut it to make it bearable. I remember talking to my doctor that I was using a electronic cigarette, he wasn't sure, but if anything it would make healing process longer. He told me the bacteria might have built up since I was using the same mouth piece for a while. So from that point on, I just either never re-use a mouthpiece or just boil them in hot water to clean them if I was low. My doctor's opinion might differ from yours, so can't really say. Heck, My doctor even told me he thought electronic cigarettes were a great alternative after I told him about it.
